Default What songs do you consider to be non-hits from Tango in the Night?

Well, Ledgies time to pick the songs you feel should count as non-hits and be in the contest.

I left off Big Love and Little Lies since they were the highest charting songs.

I wish You And I Part 1 could have been eligible. I prefer it to You And I Part 2 any day of the week.

Yeah, it seems that Part 1 is more popular than Part 2. It'll be eligible later on in the contest.

I wonder what the story is behind the two "You and I's"?

I heard that it was a simple case of an album over-running, but how far this is true I don't know.

I despise both these songs so much. Sooooooooooooo much so that even though I know it was a non hit, I didn't even vote on it 'cause I don't even want it in the running. Therefore I'm sure McTrouble will love it.

This is one of my favourite albums, though I understand quite a few see it differently. I think my love of 80s music means that a combination of Fleetwood Mac with ridiculous 80s stylings is almost heaven to me.

I would probably Mystified + the last four tracks would be the biggest contenders for Non-Hits.

I never knew this was a single in America. I never even heard it on the radio back then. Or since.

It reached # 14 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, not the pop charts (Hot 100). That's probably why. It never even made the Hot 100.

Me either. I don't recall ever hearing it on the radio.

It can't mean that. He only gave us
two choices.

I don't understand this. We have 10 choices. I voted for 8 of them. I notice you voted for Seven Wonders and Everywhere.

You are correct sir, I misread.
Though my original post was a
joke aimed at Jondular's question
"which songs seem to be worst".

My votes were for the only songs
that didn't have any votes. They
seemed lonely. I'm a little tired of
polls.
